101北北基高中申請入學及登記分發策略分析
這些年來,多元入學的方式一變再變,真的能導正教學嗎?
今天是基測成績公布的日子, 三年前(98年)我家老大昭穎考完第一次基測,申請上師大附中,我曾寫了一篇網誌"基測申請入學，亂點鴛鴦譜，不必靠加分400分也可能上建中, 401分卻連師大附中都上不了" 描述了各校申請入學條件不一,令人搞不清,分明是要打破明星高中的排名, 98年基測的量尺分數從每科滿分60改為80, 考前其實我和昭穎都沒有想過考不上北一女的可能(大概我以前在台中,第一志願的分數比較容易達到吧), 可是成綪一出來,我們只過了一天就決定不考二次基測,直接申請師大附中, 其實當時就已存在去年沸沸揚揚的高分低就問題, 因為昭穎如果考二測,不論考多差,仍可以一測的成績登記分發至北一女,不過現在看來,她還是會比較喜歡讀附中吧!
97年比昭穎高一屆的某學長,一測時申請建中差了一分沒上(如果申請附中就上了),後來二測沒有進步,登記分發時連成功都沒上,只好去讀松山高中.
到了100年,加入了部分免試入學,北北基自辦基測,相當於只有一次基測,但卻有兩種分發規則,而且申請入學和登記分發其實大多數人都是用原始分數去比高下的(這和98年各校用不同的級分換算不一樣), 而申請和登記分配的名額不同才是造成各校錄取分數在申請入學和登記分發出現了分數差距如此之大的原因,乃至還要改分發收場.由於去年的經驗,今年國中老師大多要求學生在申請入學時向上一兩個志願來填寫.
背景寫了這麼多,竟然還沒進入主題,難怪我當年大學聯考作文只得18分(滿分40)
要談策略,重點還是如何考高分,又得岔題一下, 基測的中間偏易的命題取向讓英數滿分成為中上族群不可缺的條件,也讓國文和自然(或社會)變成基測的決勝關鍵
101年的申請入學和登記分發和去年有何不同? 最大的差異在於各校申請入學的名額增加而登記分發的名額減少,這樣的改變估計會讓申請入學的錄取分數比去年低, 但是要注意的是申請入學只能填一所學校,我覺得至少要達到去年登記分發的PR值才比較有機會上,而因為登記分發的名額減少,所以如果申請沒上,登記時有可能會向下掉兩三個志願喔!,這個風險只能自己去承擔了.
這是我做的功課
今天成績出來後就用這兩個表格來決定申請的學校!
其實我覺得讀社區高中也是不錯的選擇,但是我家小寶覺得太屈就了,(有PR85以上為何要讀PR65的學校?)

十年前的承諾,今天圓滿了
高齡103歲的老居士昨晚往生了!如果我的印象沒有錯,應該是十年前在師父(智諭老和尚)往生不久後, 當時老居士已九十三歲身體還算硬朗,在其媳婦培同下來到我的門診時有提到希望她臨命終時我可以去照顧她(至少可以開死亡診斷書),並免除在醫院受最後的痛苦,我當時一口答應,並給她們我的手機號碼,請她必要時在任何時間都可以找我.
而這個緣起,竟然十年後還能功德圓滿.
最近一兩年,老菩薩的行動已是不便,故僅由其媳婦到診所拿一些軟便藥及維他命,數週前有因咳嗽(肺炎?)而住院數天,出院後還算平穩,清醒,
直到四天前(星期日),原本已快癒合的壓瘡突然變黑,意識也不太清楚,所以她的家人找我去,主要是要決定是否要送醫院,那天我開會到晚上十點多才去看她,我帶了壓瘡的藥膏和治敗血症的中藥, 她的臉色雖然蒼白,意識呈昏睡狀,但卻非常安詳,脈象胃氣已弱,所以就建議不要送醫院,也沒給口服藥,只給外用藥,應該隨時可能往生,並交代如有力氣仍可給流質食物,如沒力氣也不要勉強進食,這樣的狀況持續了快四天,就在昨晚我快下班前,老菩薩兩手一攤,似乎沒有力氣了, 我下班(九點半)後才去探視, 老菩薩已安詳捨報,就開始為其助念.其後眾蓮友也排班來助念,一起來參與這場殊勝的往生法會.

智諭和尚圓寂十周年
惠敏和尚開示:
~智諭老和尚 圓寂十週年紀念 活動意義~
緬懷開山老和尚篳路藍褸、捍勞忍苦的「草寮」精神， 以學習勤儉純樸、刻苦耐勞的生活習慣。
這也是合乎少欲知足、助人為樂的新時代生活方式， 以呼應愛惜資源、節能減碳的覺醒。
同時反省：這十年來淨苑四眾弟子，是否有多少好的傳統忘失了？
是否有多少新的問題沒有注意？ 是否常思惟「諸行無常、諸法無我、涅槃寂靜」的三法印？
所以，莫忘「傳承與創新」，是我們淨苑世代永續發展的長遠課題。
祈共勉之！

歐巴馬對高中畢業生的演講:把事情搞砸 別找藉口
歐巴馬勉勵學子：把事情搞砸 別找藉口 | 國際萬象 | 全球觀察 | 聯合新聞網
http://forum.udn.com/forum/NewsLetter/Ne...
（美聯社）美國總統歐巴馬七日應邀到密西根州卡拉馬祖中央高中畢業典禮致詞，勉勵畢業生努力追求夢想，遇到挫折不要找藉口逃避責任。
歐巴馬期勉二百八十名畢業生：「別找藉口…事實是無論你多努力，未必就能在每個班上都拿第一名或每項工作都成功。有時候你會把事情搞砸，傷害到你喜愛的人，背離最堅信的價值。這時候，全天下最容易的事就是找替罪羔羊。教授太嚴厲，老闆很機車，教練真偏心，死黨不了解你，老婆…呃，這個我會和蜜雪兒討論。我們在華盛頓天天看到這種事情，人們在電視上互相謾罵，指控來指控去。」
歐巴馬說：「你們的社區很容易就會步上後塵。藉口一堆：子女比較沒優勢，學校比較沒資源，怎麼跟別人拚？你們可以指責他人，指責家長，指責教師，指責校長，指責學監，甚至指責政府。但你們沒有這樣做。反而，各位團結一致，決心要做得更好，更加督促子女，讓他們的心胸更開闊。我想，新世紀的優秀高中該具備哪些要素，美國可以向卡拉馬祖高中學到許多東西；但最重要的元素是各位。」
全美超過一千所高中參加「畢業典禮比賽」，爭取歐巴馬到畢業典禮致詞。比賽由十七萬人對參賽學校的錄影和文章進行投票。經過初選和複選，擁有一千七百多名學生的卡拉馬祖高中等三所高中進入決選，白宮決定卡拉馬祖高中勝出。白宮指出，該校畢業率超過八成，學習成績大幅進步，還開設文化多元的課程。
歐巴馬鼓勵畢業生繼續追求卓越，也可考慮從事公職：「沒有什麼是你們完成不了的，也許我現在只是幫各位暫代職務。」

Remarks of President Barack Obama for the Kalamazoo Central High School commencement:
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Please be seated. Hello, Giants. (Applause.) It is good -- it is good to be here, and congratulations Class of 2010. (Applause.) I am honored to be part of this special occasion.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: We love you!
THE PRESIDENT: And I love you back. (Applause.) Let me acknowledge your extraordinary governor, Jennifer Granholm. (Applause.) Superintendent Rice, thank you for your inspiring words. (Applause.) Your mayor, Bobby Hopewell, who I understand is a proud Kalamazoo graduate himself. (Applause.)
View full sizeAP PhotoPresident Barack Obama Thanks to Principal Washington for -- (applause) -- not just for the warm introduction, but for his enthusiasm and his energy and his leadership and his nice singing voice. (Laughter.) Thank you. To all the trustees, to the alumni, to the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins -- everybody who’s been a part of this extraordinary place. (Applause.)
And I want to recognize our student speakers. Cindy, who embodies the best of our traditions in this country -- arrived three or four years ago and graduates as the valedictorian -- this is what is continually replenishing the energy and the dynamism and the innovation of this country, and we could not be prouder of you. Thank you. (Applause.) And to Simon, I’m glad that, according to the Constitution, you can’t run till you’re 35. (Laughter and applause.) So I’ll be long gone by then. (Laughter.) But it gives me great confidence to know that we’ve got such incredible young leaders who are going to be remaking the world in so many different ways.
Now, recently, an article from your local paper, the Kalamazoo Gazette -- (applause) -- was brought to my attention. And it ran just after this school had been chosen as one of the six finalists in our Race to the Top Commencement Challenge. And for those who aren’t aware of it, this is a contest to highlight schools that promote academic excellence, personal responsibility and that best prepare students for college and careers. And this article in the Gazette quoted a young lady named Kelsey Wilson -- (applause.) Where is -- is Kelsey here? She right over there? (Applause.) Anyway --
AUDIENCE MEMBERS: She’s here.
THE PRESIDENT: She’s over there? Hey, Kelsey. How are you? (Laughter.)
So Kelsey was quoted as saying, “We’re the kind of school that never gets credit for what we do. And our school is amazing.” This is what Kelsey said, “Our school is amazing.”
View full sizeGazette filePrincipal Von Washington hugs Kalamazoo Central junior Kelsey Wilson his office after finding out that Kalamazoo Central High School is among the three finalists in the contest to have President Obama come and speak at next month's commencement ceremony. Well, Kelsey, Class of 2010, members of the Kalamazoo community, I’m here tonight because after three rounds of competition, with more than a thousand schools, and more than 170,000 votes cast, I know -- and America knows -- what you’ve done at Kalamazoo Central. You are amazing! (Applause.) We know. We know. (Applause.) Our amazing Secretary of Education Arne Duncan knows. (Applause.) Folks in Washington know, folks across the country know, and hopefully after tonight, everybody knows.
Now, together as a community, you’ve embraced the motto of this school district: “Every child, every opportunity, every time.” (Applause.) Every time. Every child, every opportunity, every time, because you believe, like I do, that every young person, every child -- regardless of what they look like, where they come from, how much money their parents have -- every child who walks through your schoolhouse doors deserves a quality education. No exceptions. (Applause.)
And I’m here tonight because I think that America has a lot to learn from Kalamazoo Central about what makes for a successful school in this new century. (Applause.) You’ve got educators raising standards and then inspiring their students to meet them. You’ve got community members who are stepping up as tutors and mentors and coaches. You got parents who are taking an active interest in their child’s education -- attending those teacher conferences, yes, turning off the TV once in a while, making sure homework gets done.
Arne Duncan is here tonight because these are the values, these are the changes that he’s encouraging in every school in this nation. It’s the key to our future.
But the most important ingredient is you: students who raised your sights, who aimed high, who invested yourselves in your own success. It’s no accident that so many of you have received college admissions letters, Class of 2010. That didn’t happen by accident. It happened because you worked for it. As the superintendent said, you earned it.
So, Kelsey, I agree with you. What you’ve done here at Kalamazoo Central is amazing. (Applause.) I am proud of you. Your parents are proud of you. Your teachers, your principal -- we’re all incredibly proud.
Now, graduates, all these folks around you, I have to say, though, with the cameras and the beaming smiles -- they’ve worked hard to give you everything you need to pursue your dreams and fulfill your God-given talent. Unfortunately, you can’t take them with you when you leave here. (Laughter.) No one is going to go follow you around making sure that you’re getting to class on time, making sure you’re doing your work. Nobody is going to be doing that for you. Going forward, that’s all on you -- responsibility for your success is squarely on your shoulders.
And the question I have for you today is this: What is each -- what are each of you going to do to meet that responsibility?
Now, right now you’re getting plenty of advice from everybody. Some of it’s helpful. (Laughter.) And so I hate to pile on with advice. But while I’m here -- (laughter) -- what the heck. (Laughter.) I figure I should offer a few thoughts based on my own experiences, but also based on my hopes for all of you, and for our country, in the years ahead.
First, understand that your success in life won’t be determined just by what’s given to you, or what happens to you, but by what you do with all that’s given to you; what you do with all that happens to you; how hard you try; how far you push yourself; how high you’re willing to reach. True excellence only comes with perseverance.
This wasn’t something I really understood when I was back your age. My father, some of you know, left my family when I was two years old. I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents. (Applause.) And sometimes I had a tendency to goof off. As my mother put it, I had a tendency sometimes to act a bit casual about my future. (Laughter.) Sometimes I was rebellious. Sometimes I partied a little too much. (Applause.) Oh, yes, yes, this is a cautionary tale. (Laughter.) Don’t be cheering when I say that. (Laughter.) Studied just enough to get by. I thought hard work, responsibility, that’s old-fashioned. That’s just people want to tell me what to do.
But after a few years, after I was living solely on my own and I realized that living solely for my own entertainment wasn’t so entertaining anymore, that it wasn’t particularly satisfying anymore, that I didn’t seem to be making much of a ripple in the world, I started to change my tune. I realized that by refusing to apply myself, there was nothing I could point to that I was proud of that would last.
Now, you come of an age in a popular culture that actually reinforces this approach to life. You watch TV, and basically what it says is you can be rich and successful without much effort; you just have to become a celebrity. (Laughter.) If you can achieve some reality TV notoriety, that’s better than lasting achievement. We live in a culture that tells you there’s a quick fix for every problem and a justification for every selfish desire. And all of you were raised with cell phones and iPods, and texting and emails, and you’re able to call up a fact, or a song, or a friend with the click of a button. So you’re used to instant gratification.
But meaningful achievement, lasting success -- it doesn’t happen in an instant. It’s not about luck, it’s not about a sudden stroke of genius. It’s not usually about talent. It’s usually about daily effort, the large choices and the small choices that you make that add up over time. It’s about the skills you build, and the knowledge you accumulate, and the energy you invest in every task, no matter how trivial or menial it may seem at the time.
You’ve got an alum who plays for the Yankees, I hear. He’s supposed to be pretty good. (Applause.) Now, Derek Jeter wasn’t born playing shortstop for the Yankees. He got there through years of effort. And his high school baseball coach once remarked, “I’m surprised he still doesn’t have blisters and that I don’t have the blisters on my hands from hitting ground balls just for Derek.” He always wanted more: ‘How about one more turn in the batting cage? Or 25 more ground balls?’”
Thomas Edison tested more than 6,000 different materials for just one tiny part of the light bulb that he invented. Think about that -- 6,000 tests. J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Mozart was a musical prodigy, but he practiced for hours each day -- accumulating thousands of hours at the piano by the time he was just six years old. I understand that your boys’ basketball team did pretty good. (Applause.) First state champions for the first time in 59 years. That didn’t happen by accident. They put in work. They put in effort.
So, today, you all have a rare and valuable chance to pursue your own passions, chase your own dreams without incurring a mountain of debt. What an incredible gift. So you’ve got no excuse for giving anything less than your best effort. (Applause.) No excuses.
That’s my second piece of advice, very simple: Don’t make excuses. Take responsibility not just for your successes; take responsibility where you fall short as well.
Now, the truth is, no matter how hard you work, you’re not going to ace every class -- well, maybe Cindy will, but -- (laughter.) But you’re not going to ace every class. You’re not going to succeed the first time you try something. There are going to be times when you screw up. There will be times where you hurt people you love. There will be times where you make a mistake and you stray from the values that you hold most deeply.
And when that happens, it’s the easiest thing in the world to start looking around for somebody else to blame. Your professor was too hard; your boss was a jerk; the coaches -- was playing favorites; your friend just didn’t understand. Your wife -- oh, no. (Laughter.) I’m just messing with Michelle right there. (Laughter.) That was all in fun. (Laughter.)
No, but this is an easy habit to get into. You see it every day in Washington -- every day -- folks calling each other names, making all sorts of accusations on television. Everybody is always pointing a finger at somebody else. You notice that?
Now, this community could have easily gone down that road. This community could have made excuses -- well, our kids have fewer advantages, our schools have fewer resources -- how can we compete? You could have spent years pointing fingers -- blaming parents, blaming teachers, blaming the principal, blaming the superintendent, blaming the President. (Laughter and applause.)
But that’s -- Class of 2010, I want you to pay attention on this because that’s not what happened. Instead, this community was honest with itself about where you were falling short. You resolved to do better, push your kids harder, open their minds wider, expose them to all kinds of ideas and people and experiences.
So, graduates, I hope you’ll continue those efforts. Don’t make excuses. And I hope that wherever you go, you won’t narrow the broad intellectual and social exposure you’ve had here at Kalamazoo Central -- instead, seek to expand it. Don’t just hang out with people who look like you, or go to the same church you do, or share your political views. Broaden your circle to include people with different backgrounds and life experiences. Because that’s how you’ll end up learning what it’s like to walk in somebody else’s shoes. (Applause.) That’s how you’ll come to understand the challenges other people face.
And this is not just an academic exercise. It’s a way to broaden your ambit of concern and learn to see yourselves in each other.
Which brings me to my final piece of advice for today, and that’s to give back, to be part of something bigger than yourselves. Hitch your wagon to something that is bigger than yourselves.
I know that so many of you have already served your community through efforts like your Stuff the Bus food drives and groups like Activists for Action. And I commend you for that. (Applause.)
But I also know that many of you are the first in your family to go to college. And right about now, you may be feeling all the weight of their hopes and expectations coming down on your shoulders.
And once you start juggling those classes and activities and that campus job, and you get caught up in your own dreams and your own anxieties and dating -- (laughter) -- you may feel like you’ve got enough on your plate just dealing with your own life. It might be easier to turn the channel when the news disturbs you, to avert your eyes when you pass that homeless man on the street, to tell yourself that other people’s problems really aren’t your responsibility.
But just think about what the consequence of that approach to life would have been if that’s how folks had acted here in this community. What if those Kalamazoo Promise donors had said to themselves, “Well, you know what, I can pay for my own kid’s education. Why should I have to pay for somebody else’s?”
Think about the consequences for our country. What if our Founding Fathers had said, “You know, colonialism is kind of oppressive, but I’m doing okay, my family’s doing all right, why should I spend my summer in Philadelphia arguing about a Constitution?”
What if those abolitionists, those civil right workers had said, “You know, slavery is wrong, segregation is wrong, but it’s kind of dangerous to get mixed up in that stuff. I don’t have time for all those meetings and marches. I think I’m going to take a pass. I hope it works out, but that’s not something I want to do.”
I want you to think for a minute about the extraordinary men and women who’ve worn our country’s uniform and have given their last full measure of devotion to keep us safe and free. (Applause.) What if they said -- what if they said, “I really do love this country, but why should I sacrifice so much for people I’ve never even met?” Young men and women in uniform right now making those sacrifices. (Applause.)
So you and I are here today because those people made a different choice. They chose to step up. They chose to serve. And I hope you will follow their example, because there is work to be done, and your country needs you. We’ve got an economy to rebuild. We’ve got children to educate. We’ve got diseases to cure. We’ve got threats to face. We’ve got an oil spill to clean up. (Applause.) We’ve got clean energy to discover. And it is going to be up to you to meet all of those challenges -- to build industries and make discoveries and inspire the next generation. It’s going to be up to you to heal the divide that continues to afflict our world.
Now, I’m not saying you got to do it here all at once. But as Theodore Roosevelt once put it, I’m asking you to “Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” And I can guarantee that wherever your journey takes you, there are going to be children who need mentors and senior citizens who need assistance, folks down on their luck who could use a helping hand.
And once you’ve reached out and formed those connections, you’ll find it’s a little harder to numb yourself to other people’s suffering. It’s a little harder to ignore the national debates about the issues that affect their lives and yours.
In the end, service binds us to each other -- and to our communities and our country -- in a way that nothing else can. It’s how we become more fully American.
That’s the reason those donors created the Kalamazoo Promise in the first place -- not for recognition or reward, but because of their connection to this community; because their belief in your potential; because their faith that you would use this gift not just to enrich your own lives, but the lives of others and the life of the nation. (Applause.)
And I’m told that soon after the Promise was established, a first grader approached the superintendent at the time and declared to her: “I’m going to college.” First grader. “I’m going to college. I don’t know what it is, but I’m going.” (Laughter and applause.)
We may never know those donors’ names, but we know how they helped bring this community together and how you’ve embraced their Promise not just as a gift to be appreciated, but a responsibility to be fulfilled. We know how they have helped inspire an entire generation of young people here in Kalamazoo to imagine a different future for themselves.
And graduates, today, I’m asking you to pay them back by seeking to have the same kind of impact with your own lives; by pursuing excellence in everything you do; by serving this country that you love. (Applause.)
I know that you can do it. After all, you are the Giants -- (applause) -- and with the education you’ve gotten here, there’s nothing you can’t do.
Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.) And God bless the Class of 2010. (Applause.)

（美聯社）美國總統歐巴馬七日應邀到密西根州卡拉馬祖中央高中畢業典禮致詞，勉勵畢業生努力追求夢想，遇到挫折不要找藉口逃避責任。
歐巴馬期勉二百八十名畢業生：「別找藉口…事實是無論你多努力，未必就能在每個班上都拿第一名或每項工作都成功。有時候你會把事情搞砸，傷害到你喜愛的人，背離最堅信的價值。這時候，全天下最容易的事就是找替罪羔羊。教授太嚴厲，老闆很機車，教練真偏心，死黨不了解你，老婆…呃，這個我會和蜜雪兒討論。我們在華盛頓天天看到這種事情，人們在電視上互相謾罵，指控來指控去。」
歐巴馬說：「你們的社區很容易就會步上後塵。藉口一堆：子女比較沒優勢，學校比較沒資源，怎麼跟別人拚？你們可以指責他人，指責家長，指責教師，指責校長，指責學監，甚至指責政府。但你們沒有這樣做。反而，各位團結一致，決心要做得更好，更加督促子女，讓他們的心胸更開闊。我想，新世紀的優秀高中該具備哪些要素，美國可以向卡拉馬祖高中學到許多東西；但最重要的元素是各位。」
全美超過一千所高中參加「畢業典禮比賽」，爭取歐巴馬到畢業典禮致詞。比賽由十七萬人對參賽學校的錄影和文章進行投票。經過初選和複選，擁有一千七百多名學生的卡拉馬祖高中等三所高中進入決選，白宮決定卡拉馬祖高中勝出。白宮指出，該校畢業率超過八成，學習成績大幅進步，還開設文化多元的課程。
歐巴馬鼓勵畢業生繼續追求卓越，也可考慮從事公職：「沒有什麼是你們完成不了的，也許我現在只是幫各位暫代職務。」

Remarks of President Barack Obama for the Kalamazoo Central High School commencement:
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Please be seated. Hello, Giants. (Applause.) It is good -- it is good to be here, and congratulations Class of 2010. (Applause.) I am honored to be part of this special occasion.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: We love you!
THE PRESIDENT: And I love you back. (Applause.) Let me acknowledge your extraordinary governor, Jennifer Granholm. (Applause.) Superintendent Rice, thank you for your inspiring words. (Applause.) Your mayor, Bobby Hopewell, who I understand is a proud Kalamazoo graduate himself. (Applause.)
View full sizeAP PhotoPresident Barack Obama Thanks to Principal Washington for -- (applause) -- not just for the warm introduction, but for his enthusiasm and his energy and his leadership and his nice singing voice. (Laughter.) Thank you. To all the trustees, to the alumni, to the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins -- everybody who’s been a part of this extraordinary place. (Applause.)
And I want to recognize our student speakers. Cindy, who embodies the best of our traditions in this country -- arrived three or four years ago and graduates as the valedictorian -- this is what is continually replenishing the energy and the dynamism and the innovation of this country, and we could not be prouder of you. Thank you. (Applause.) And to Simon, I’m glad that, according to the Constitution, you can’t run till you’re 35. (Laughter and applause.) So I’ll be long gone by then. (Laughter.) But it gives me great confidence to know that we’ve got such incredible young leaders who are going to be remaking the world in so many different ways.
Now, recently, an article from your local paper, the Kalamazoo Gazette -- (applause) -- was brought to my attention. And it ran just after this school had been chosen as one of the six finalists in our Race to the Top Commencement Challenge. And for those who aren’t aware of it, this is a contest to highlight schools that promote academic excellence, personal responsibility and that best prepare students for college and careers. And this article in the Gazette quoted a young lady named Kelsey Wilson -- (applause.) Where is -- is Kelsey here? She right over there? (Applause.) Anyway --
AUDIENCE MEMBERS: She’s here.
THE PRESIDENT: She’s over there? Hey, Kelsey. How are you? (Laughter.)
So Kelsey was quoted as saying, “We’re the kind of school that never gets credit for what we do. And our school is amazing.” This is what Kelsey said, “Our school is amazing.”
View full sizeGazette filePrincipal Von Washington hugs Kalamazoo Central junior Kelsey Wilson his office after finding out that Kalamazoo Central High School is among the three finalists in the contest to have President Obama come and speak at next month's commencement ceremony. Well, Kelsey, Class of 2010, members of the Kalamazoo community, I’m here tonight because after three rounds of competition, with more than a thousand schools, and more than 170,000 votes cast, I know -- and America knows -- what you’ve done at Kalamazoo Central. You are amazing! (Applause.) We know. We know. (Applause.) Our amazing Secretary of Education Arne Duncan knows. (Applause.) Folks in Washington know, folks across the country know, and hopefully after tonight, everybody knows.
Now, together as a community, you’ve embraced the motto of this school district: “Every child, every opportunity, every time.” (Applause.) Every time. Every child, every opportunity, every time, because you believe, like I do, that every young person, every child -- regardless of what they look like, where they come from, how much money their parents have -- every child who walks through your schoolhouse doors deserves a quality education. No exceptions. (Applause.)
And I’m here tonight because I think that America has a lot to learn from Kalamazoo Central about what makes for a successful school in this new century. (Applause.) You’ve got educators raising standards and then inspiring their students to meet them. You’ve got community members who are stepping up as tutors and mentors and coaches. You got parents who are taking an active interest in their child’s education -- attending those teacher conferences, yes, turning off the TV once in a while, making sure homework gets done.
Arne Duncan is here tonight because these are the values, these are the changes that he’s encouraging in every school in this nation. It’s the key to our future.
But the most important ingredient is you: students who raised your sights, who aimed high, who invested yourselves in your own success. It’s no accident that so many of you have received college admissions letters, Class of 2010. That didn’t happen by accident. It happened because you worked for it. As the superintendent said, you earned it.
So, Kelsey, I agree with you. What you’ve done here at Kalamazoo Central is amazing. (Applause.) I am proud of you. Your parents are proud of you. Your teachers, your principal -- we’re all incredibly proud.
Now, graduates, all these folks around you, I have to say, though, with the cameras and the beaming smiles -- they’ve worked hard to give you everything you need to pursue your dreams and fulfill your God-given talent. Unfortunately, you can’t take them with you when you leave here. (Laughter.) No one is going to go follow you around making sure that you’re getting to class on time, making sure you’re doing your work. Nobody is going to be doing that for you. Going forward, that’s all on you -- responsibility for your success is squarely on your shoulders.
And the question I have for you today is this: What is each -- what are each of you going to do to meet that responsibility?
Now, right now you’re getting plenty of advice from everybody. Some of it’s helpful. (Laughter.) And so I hate to pile on with advice. But while I’m here -- (laughter) -- what the heck. (Laughter.) I figure I should offer a few thoughts based on my own experiences, but also based on my hopes for all of you, and for our country, in the years ahead.
First, understand that your success in life won’t be determined just by what’s given to you, or what happens to you, but by what you do with all that’s given to you; what you do with all that happens to you; how hard you try; how far you push yourself; how high you’re willing to reach. True excellence only comes with perseverance.
This wasn’t something I really understood when I was back your age. My father, some of you know, left my family when I was two years old. I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents. (Applause.) And sometimes I had a tendency to goof off. As my mother put it, I had a tendency sometimes to act a bit casual about my future. (Laughter.) Sometimes I was rebellious. Sometimes I partied a little too much. (Applause.) Oh, yes, yes, this is a cautionary tale. (Laughter.) Don’t be cheering when I say that. (Laughter.) Studied just enough to get by. I thought hard work, responsibility, that’s old-fashioned. That’s just people want to tell me what to do.
But after a few years, after I was living solely on my own and I realized that living solely for my own entertainment wasn’t so entertaining anymore, that it wasn’t particularly satisfying anymore, that I didn’t seem to be making much of a ripple in the world, I started to change my tune. I realized that by refusing to apply myself, there was nothing I could point to that I was proud of that would last.
Now, you come of an age in a popular culture that actually reinforces this approach to life. You watch TV, and basically what it says is you can be rich and successful without much effort; you just have to become a celebrity. (Laughter.) If you can achieve some reality TV notoriety, that’s better than lasting achievement. We live in a culture that tells you there’s a quick fix for every problem and a justification for every selfish desire. And all of you were raised with cell phones and iPods, and texting and emails, and you’re able to call up a fact, or a song, or a friend with the click of a button. So you’re used to instant gratification.
But meaningful achievement, lasting success -- it doesn’t happen in an instant. It’s not about luck, it’s not about a sudden stroke of genius. It’s not usually about talent. It’s usually about daily effort, the large choices and the small choices that you make that add up over time. It’s about the skills you build, and the knowledge you accumulate, and the energy you invest in every task, no matter how trivial or menial it may seem at the time.
You’ve got an alum who plays for the Yankees, I hear. He’s supposed to be pretty good. (Applause.) Now, Derek Jeter wasn’t born playing shortstop for the Yankees. He got there through years of effort. And his high school baseball coach once remarked, “I’m surprised he still doesn’t have blisters and that I don’t have the blisters on my hands from hitting ground balls just for Derek.” He always wanted more: ‘How about one more turn in the batting cage? Or 25 more ground balls?’”
Thomas Edison tested more than 6,000 different materials for just one tiny part of the light bulb that he invented. Think about that -- 6,000 tests. J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Mozart was a musical prodigy, but he practiced for hours each day -- accumulating thousands of hours at the piano by the time he was just six years old. I understand that your boys’ basketball team did pretty good. (Applause.) First state champions for the first time in 59 years. That didn’t happen by accident. They put in work. They put in effort.
So, today, you all have a rare and valuable chance to pursue your own passions, chase your own dreams without incurring a mountain of debt. What an incredible gift. So you’ve got no excuse for giving anything less than your best effort. (Applause.) No excuses.
That’s my second piece of advice, very simple: Don’t make excuses. Take responsibility not just for your successes; take responsibility where you fall short as well.
Now, the truth is, no matter how hard you work, you’re not going to ace every class -- well, maybe Cindy will, but -- (laughter.) But you’re not going to ace every class. You’re not going to succeed the first time you try something. There are going to be times when you screw up. There will be times where you hurt people you love. There will be times where you make a mistake and you stray from the values that you hold most deeply.
And when that happens, it’s the easiest thing in the world to start looking around for somebody else to blame. Your professor was too hard; your boss was a jerk; the coaches -- was playing favorites; your friend just didn’t understand. Your wife -- oh, no. (Laughter.) I’m just messing with Michelle right there. (Laughter.) That was all in fun. (Laughter.)
No, but this is an easy habit to get into. You see it every day in Washington -- every day -- folks calling each other names, making all sorts of accusations on television. Everybody is always pointing a finger at somebody else. You notice that?
Now, this community could have easily gone down that road. This community could have made excuses -- well, our kids have fewer advantages, our schools have fewer resources -- how can we compete? You could have spent years pointing fingers -- blaming parents, blaming teachers, blaming the principal, blaming the superintendent, blaming the President. (Laughter and applause.)
But that’s -- Class of 2010, I want you to pay attention on this because that’s not what happened. Instead, this community was honest with itself about where you were falling short. You resolved to do better, push your kids harder, open their minds wider, expose them to all kinds of ideas and people and experiences.
So, graduates, I hope you’ll continue those efforts. Don’t make excuses. And I hope that wherever you go, you won’t narrow the broad intellectual and social exposure you’ve had here at Kalamazoo Central -- instead, seek to expand it. Don’t just hang out with people who look like you, or go to the same church you do, or share your political views. Broaden your circle to include people with different backgrounds and life experiences. Because that’s how you’ll end up learning what it’s like to walk in somebody else’s shoes. (Applause.) That’s how you’ll come to understand the challenges other people face.
And this is not just an academic exercise. It’s a way to broaden your ambit of concern and learn to see yourselves in each other.
Which brings me to my final piece of advice for today, and that’s to give back, to be part of something bigger than yourselves. Hitch your wagon to something that is bigger than yourselves.
I know that so many of you have already served your community through efforts like your Stuff the Bus food drives and groups like Activists for Action. And I commend you for that. (Applause.)
But I also know that many of you are the first in your family to go to college. And right about now, you may be feeling all the weight of their hopes and expectations coming down on your shoulders.
And once you start juggling those classes and activities and that campus job, and you get caught up in your own dreams and your own anxieties and dating -- (laughter) -- you may feel like you’ve got enough on your plate just dealing with your own life. It might be easier to turn the channel when the news disturbs you, to avert your eyes when you pass that homeless man on the street, to tell yourself that other people’s problems really aren’t your responsibility.
But just think about what the consequence of that approach to life would have been if that’s how folks had acted here in this community. What if those Kalamazoo Promise donors had said to themselves, “Well, you know what, I can pay for my own kid’s education. Why should I have to pay for somebody else’s?”
Think about the consequences for our country. What if our Founding Fathers had said, “You know, colonialism is kind of oppressive, but I’m doing okay, my family’s doing all right, why should I spend my summer in Philadelphia arguing about a Constitution?”
What if those abolitionists, those civil right workers had said, “You know, slavery is wrong, segregation is wrong, but it’s kind of dangerous to get mixed up in that stuff. I don’t have time for all those meetings and marches. I think I’m going to take a pass. I hope it works out, but that’s not something I want to do.”
I want you to think for a minute about the extraordinary men and women who’ve worn our country’s uniform and have given their last full measure of devotion to keep us safe and free. (Applause.) What if they said -- what if they said, “I really do love this country, but why should I sacrifice so much for people I’ve never even met?” Young men and women in uniform right now making those sacrifices. (Applause.)
So you and I are here today because those people made a different choice. They chose to step up. They chose to serve. And I hope you will follow their example, because there is work to be done, and your country needs you. We’ve got an economy to rebuild. We’ve got children to educate. We’ve got diseases to cure. We’ve got threats to face. We’ve got an oil spill to clean up. (Applause.) We’ve got clean energy to discover. And it is going to be up to you to meet all of those challenges -- to build industries and make discoveries and inspire the next generation. It’s going to be up to you to heal the divide that continues to afflict our world.
Now, I’m not saying you got to do it here all at once. But as Theodore Roosevelt once put it, I’m asking you to “Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” And I can guarantee that wherever your journey takes you, there are going to be children who need mentors and senior citizens who need assistance, folks down on their luck who could use a helping hand.
And once you’ve reached out and formed those connections, you’ll find it’s a little harder to numb yourself to other people’s suffering. It’s a little harder to ignore the national debates about the issues that affect their lives and yours.
In the end, service binds us to each other -- and to our communities and our country -- in a way that nothing else can. It’s how we become more fully American.
That’s the reason those donors created the Kalamazoo Promise in the first place -- not for recognition or reward, but because of their connection to this community; because their belief in your potential; because their faith that you would use this gift not just to enrich your own lives, but the lives of others and the life of the nation. (Applause.)
And I’m told that soon after the Promise was established, a first grader approached the superintendent at the time and declared to her: “I’m going to college.” First grader. “I’m going to college. I don’t know what it is, but I’m going.” (Laughter and applause.)
We may never know those donors’ names, but we know how they helped bring this community together and how you’ve embraced their Promise not just as a gift to be appreciated, but a responsibility to be fulfilled. We know how they have helped inspire an entire generation of young people here in Kalamazoo to imagine a different future for themselves.
And graduates, today, I’m asking you to pay them back by seeking to have the same kind of impact with your own lives; by pursuing excellence in everything you do; by serving this country that you love. (Applause.)
I know that you can do it. After all, you are the Giants -- (applause) -- and with the education you’ve gotten here, there’s nothing you can’t do.
Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.) And God bless the Class of 2010. (Applause.)

無常迅速
昨天才無意間在網路上認識蔡壁名教授,並聆聽了她的一個多小時演講,深感自己的不知努力上進,馬齒徒長,並發願每天一定要看兩頁以上的傷寒雜病論,今天忙了一天,包完病人的中藥己是夜半,想多認識這位優秀的老師,網路上並不容易找到她較新的消息,找了半天竟是她得了癌症,而且可能己仙逝,得年僅43!怎麼還沒開始就結束了,唉!
學中醫的人可以聽聽她的這場演講:
如何與莊周、仲景相遇 - 漫談醫、道經典讀書法
前幾天女兒傳訊息要我買一本書，才確認蔡教授還活得好好的 (其實之前在台大中文系的師資名單也都還有她, 只是會懷疑有些網頁是永遠沒更新的
推薦他的新書, 真的值得一讀

2010年,又是忙碌的一年
天行健,君子以自強不息. 我的名字己說明了我的人生走向了
元月一日之前的一個半小時,下班後從三峽獨自開車到金山的水田園溫泉農場,趕去參加金敏分校辦的跨年活動,開了一個多小時的車,總算及時趕到,金敏的家長和老師們都很熱烈的參與班親會的活動.放完煙火,和這一群老朋友與新朋友喝茶聊天,不覺已是一點多了,還是要開車回三峽,因為白天還要上班,回家途中在二點二十分先到永寧站接昭穎,她是和附中儀隊的同學在總統府附近跨年的.這時,文英和小寶小貝才剛從忠孝復興站坐上公車要到警政署坐林老師的車回家.所以這個跨年,到四點多才睡,這似乎比年輕時還熱血.
早上七點多還是要起床去上班,中午下班又趕到西蓮淨苑幫幾位法師看診.快速的包完藥,又開車到北醫做實驗去了,這次養的細胞竟然大多還活著,也就是說年假這幾天每天都要到學校做實驗了.收拾好實驗室,又要趕快回家,因為晚上還有幾個約診的病人.看診中間空檔還要切蛋糕,慶祝我今天生日,沒幾個病人也看到九點多.才結束了忙碌的一天.
而這一天也意味著未來的一年依舊忙碌.

而我呢,因為忙不完的雜事與正事,終於感冒而且病邪內裏,可是還是不能休息,昨晚,小貝的功課依舊是沒有寫完,為了督促他的功課,我也不能早睡,所以今天閙鐘雖然從四點多,五點多叫了幾次,我還是想多躺一會兒,驚醒時已是6:20,想不到天色仍是暗的,趕緊叫三個小孩起床,雖然晚了點,還是要吃早餐,才發現我仍是煮了五人份,也添了五碗稀飯,只好把多的一碗大家分一些,還好全部吃完(小寶有吃完嗎?,因為我先出門了所以不知道)
小貝有準時坐上免費公車, 我載者昭穎到附中,車况還不錯,雖然6:50才出發,竟然7:25就到了,
還有一堆未完成的事,我仍要向前行,不要再來不及了!

放暑假
小孩們放暑假了,可是課程排的比平常還滿,到處會衝堂呢!
基本上星期一到五早上六點至七點半游泳, 下午二點到五點英文課(老大原本不願意上,後來還是上三點半到六點半的英文),晚上六點半到九點武術課,
而平常課外的鋼琴,美術,及珠心算仍持續上,暑假不休息,樂團又增加了每周兩次的團練,
還有不定期的夏令營隊......暑假真是忙呢!
而且每天五點半就要起床,這半個月來,雖然大多天是遲到的,比起去年則還是有些進步的,
今天我五點之前就起床了,煮了稀飯,才叫老婆大人及公子公主們起床,
到了游泳池,我們這些孝順子女的父母們也該做點運動,幾個人繞著泳池的外圍快走數圈,邊走可以邊聊天,對心肺功能的增進是蠻有效的,至少兩星期下來,體力是有進步的.

誰說山上的小學沒有競爭力?
6月19日是今年高中申請入學報到的日子, Amy和Jamie這兩個同班已九年的小女生又同樣考取師大附中,所以約好了一起到學校報到,昨晚還約了同為插角國小畢業,考上建中的Eric, 這三個小朋友在八年多以前不約而同的被父母送到台北縣三峽鎮山裏的插角國小求學,這樣的反向操作,讓他們過著快樂悠閒的童年.
由Jamie 爸爸開車,途中又碰到考上成功高中的Willy, Willy是小學二年級才轉到插角的, 記得二年級時,他們班剩下十個小朋友,所以這一班可真是利害.
就這樣,四個考上前三志願的國小同班的同學,同車由三峽開往台北巿,展開全新的高中生涯.

面對SARS；面對生死 ．面對新流感；面對生死。
以下是我於2003年SARS流行時發表的一篇短文,面對可能到來的流感大流行，我想心態是一樣的。
面對SARS；面對生死
SARS是「嚴重急性呼吸道症候群」的英文簡稱，它是一種由冠狀病毒所造成的具高度傳染性疾病，從2003年二月此疾病被報告後到四月二十四日已造成全球超過四千人遭感染，死亡人數也超過250人，此病的死亡率從早先的3%上升至5%，而且照顧病人的第一線醫護人員受感染的比例也不少，最早報告此病的義大利籍醫師也因此病死亡，最近台北巿立和平醫院也爆發了醫護人員集體感染，使台灣正式進入SARS的暴風。
面對SARS疫情，我們要對此疾病有正確的認知，佛法的無常觀是很好的觀察角度。由於醫學與科學的發展快速，在很短的時間內已經找到致病的元凶，也將發展出較精確的診斷方法，惟在治療上仍未有較大的突破，不過良好的呼吸加護病房照護仍可挽救不少生命。也由於媒體的發達，我們可以從報紙或電視上快速的獲知SARS疫情的訊息，也可以從衛生署或疾病管制局的網站(例如http://www.doh.gov.tw)中學習較深入的知識及進展。
依據現有的證據顯示，致病原在人與人之間的傳播需經由與病人的密切接觸，可能是接觸病人的飛沫或體液而傳染。所以隔絕與可能病例的接觸是目前在預防SARS感染的最重要方法。世界衛生組織建議勿前往中國、香港、越南、新加坡等SARS病例集中地區旅遊。不要到人口聚集處、儘量避免到醫院。自我保護及加強個人衛生習慣，例如勤洗手及戴口罩，乃是必要之防護措施。增強個人抵抗力應以正常之飲食、作息及規律之運動為首要。而各類的健康食品目前仍未有證據顯示可預防SARS。佛教界也要考慮停辦大型之法會以防SARS的散播。個人如有發燒、咳嗽等呼吸道症狀時，應即戴上口罩、儘速就醫，避免再傳染給他人。
佛法的慈悲觀也是面對SARS的重要心態，抗生素的發明使人類能有效的對抗細菌性疾病的感染，然而卻也不斷出現更強的抗藥性菌種，面對病毒所造成的疾病，能消滅病毒的藥物本來就寥寥可數。而在病理上許多嚴重的問題是因為我們體內的免疫系統對病毒產生過度的防禦措施所造成的，反而傷害了自己的器官組織。病毒引發的猛爆性肝炎就是明顯的例子。雖然SARS的病理機轉目前仍不十分清楚，以慈悲心礎來思索如何與微生物或自然界和平共存是在發展治療方法的哲理基礎。
《四十二章經》云：「佛問諸沙門：人命在幾間？對曰；在數日間。佛言：子未能為道。復問一沙門：人命在幾間？對曰：在飯食間。佛言：子未能為道。復問一沙門：人命在幾間？對曰：呼吸之間。佛言：善哉！子可謂為道者矣。」SARS疫情如果可以讓我們體悟到「人命在呼吸間」的無常法印，正是深入佛道的因緣。

基測申請入學，亂點鴛鴦譜，不必靠加分400分也可能上建中, 401分卻連師大附中都上不了
基測申請入學，亂點鴛鴦譜，不必靠加分400分也可能上建中, 401分卻連師大附中都上不了
98年度的國中基測量尺滿分增加到412分,所以無法以去年的量尺來做為選校依據,大多數專家建議對照去年錄取的pr值來預測落點, 可是今年申請入學還有兩項很大的不同, 一是申請入學的名額增加很多, 如建中從480人增加到570人, 增幅接近20%, 師大附中從374增加到471, 成玏高中從270增為380,只有北一女和中山女中維持去年的人數,許多社區高中增幅更超過50%, 另一個大改變是各校申請入學的條件和評分換算方式五花八門,令人眼花瞭亂,而不知該選那一所學校,從打破明星高中的觀點而言,效果應會很顯著,可是放榜後一定會有很多人非常懊惱,
本文以建中及師大附中為例來說明高分族群如何選擇申請入學的學校.
先看建中的部分, 建中將基測的各科量尺分數又區分為0~5分, 五科加總為其基本分數,寫作不記分,但至少要4級分才可申請, 條件四大多數人應可符合而加2分,所以如果沒有其他的加分項目,就是用轉換後的五科分數總和來評比,
所以我將pr值98以上的各科得分的狀況做成表格,分別換算出其申請建中的分數,結果有些有趣的發現: 在沒有特殊加分的狀況下轉換分數22分是最可能的錄取分數,因為pr99(量尺分數402),寫作五級分者大多可達22分,或許21分也有可能(因為錄取人數比去年多).
如果錄取分數是22分,那基測量尺分數400分,作文四級分,自然及社會滿分,而國英數三科中一科滿分,另兩科各錯兩題的這種組合,換算分數為23分,一定錄取, 可是另一個組合,量尺分數406,寫作六級分,自然錯一題,社會錯兩題,國英數三科中一科滿分,另兩科各錯一題,換算分數只有21分而落榜,(不過這樣的分數登記分發時應該還是會上建中的).
如果部分換算分數達21分也可錄取,則量尺分數397就可能上建中,但只限寫作四級分(80+80+77+76+76)(有兩科滿分,自然或社會錯兩題,國英數三科中有一科滿分,另兩科各錯一題)的這種組合.
再來,看看師大附中, 附中男女兼收,錄取分數約在pr98左右,所以也將pr98附近量尺分數的可能組合,換算出申請附中在基測部分所得的分數, 看起來各項比賽的加分在附中申請上更是有利,如果沒有這些加分條件,一定要靠體適能銅質獎以可加一分, 由附表可以推測附中的錄取分數可能為106(105+1)或101(100+1), 有一個奇特的組合, 量尺分數396(作文三級分,四科滿分,另一科70分),卻可穩上師大附中,而另一組合量尺分數401(作文六級分,沒有一科滿分,社會自然各錯一題,國英數有一科錯2題,兩科錯一題,79+78+78+78+76)卻不太可能上師大附中, 只能看登記分發有沒有機會.整體而言,師大附中的計分方式要有兩科或三科滿分較有利,分散錯在各科就吃虧了,所以這種計分方式會和兩年前舊量尺的排序較相近.
所以申請入學的策略就是； 依您的量尺分數,針對有興趣及有可能錄取的學校,算出自己依該校的計分方式可以得幾分,再分析和自己量尺分數相近的人在這個計分方式下和自己有何差異,來評估錄取的可能性.才不會高分落榜或明明可以錄取卻不敢去申請.

本文以建中及師大附中為例來說明高分族群如何選擇申請入學的學校.
先看建中的部分, 建中將基測的各科量尺分數又區分為0~5分, 五科加總為其基本分數,寫作不記分,但至少要4級分才可申請, 條件四大多數人應可符合而加2分,所以如果沒有其他的加分項目,就是用轉換後的五科分數總和來評比,

如果部分換算分數達21分也可錄取,則量尺分數397就可能上建中,但只限寫作四級分(80+80+77+76+76)(有兩科滿分,自然或社會錯兩題,國英數三科中有一科滿分,另兩科各錯一題)的這種組合.
再來,看看師大附中, 附中男女兼收,錄取分數約在pr98左右,所以也將pr98附近量尺分數的可能組合,換算出申請附中在基測部分所得的分數, 看起來各項比賽的加分在附中申請上更是有利,如果沒有這些加分條件,一定要靠體適能銅質獎以可加一分, 由附表可以推測附中的錄取分數可能為106(105+1)或101(100+1), 有一個奇特的組合, 量尺分數396(作文三級分,四科滿分,另一科70分),卻可穩上師大附中,而另一組合量尺分數401(作文六級分,沒有一科滿分,社會自然各錯一題,國英數有一科錯2題,兩科錯一題,79+78+78+78+76)卻不太可能上師大附中, 只能看登記分發有沒有機會.整體而言,師大附中的計分方式要有兩科或三科滿分較有利,分散錯在各科就吃虧了,所以這種計分方式會和兩年前舊量尺的排序較相近.
所以申請入學的策略就是； 依您的量尺分數,針對有興趣及有可能錄取的學校,算出自己依該校的計分方式可以得幾分,再分析和自己量尺分數相近的人在這個計分方式下和自己有何差異,來評估錄取的可能性.才不會高分落榜或明明可以錄取卻不敢去申請.

登山健行
這星期三剛完成專題討論的報告, 也是差點來不及準備完,差強人意的過關了,
今天心情仍是低落的,但總是要放鬆些,下午四點,準備了兩個鹹稀飯便當,就帶去給小寶小貝當晚餐(他們倆上完英文課就直接去上武術課,所以要在上英文課前吃點東西),送了便當,就直接往老街方向走,去爬爬山吧,這一條路徑,以前都是直上長春園的賞螢步道,反正現在也應該沒螢火蟲了,就爬往鴒鳶山的前山,這條路就比較陡峭,太久沒運動了,還真有點喘,總算到了鳶山咖啡,喝杯在地生產的有機咖啡,還蠻香甜的,也不苦澀,休息了一下,就爬上鳶山銅鐘,應是鳶山的高點了吧,如果要登山,這裏才算是起點,我想,改天再爬吧!就往回走了,又換了一條以前沒走過的路,往天公廟走去,
下坡看到一隻蟋蟀,躱在枯草中,用您的眼力找看看
回程又經過老街,已是昏暗的街燈
偸得浮生半日閒,以後希望每周可以都來爬山!

悼丘昭蓉醫師
今天看報紙,又看到一則讓我心酸的事: 在慈濟關山醫院服務的丘醫師因肝癌於4 月20日往生了. 就在這個月內, 三個師友陸續的離開了, 四十,五十, 六十,人生就是這麼無常,不一定什麼時候要離開.
丘醫師生性開朗,我和她是同一年(民國八十年)進花蓮慈濟當住院醫師,她在婦產科而我在家醫科,四年完整的住院醫師訓練後,我因為公費服務及其他因素而離開慈院,而她則在那時候轉到家醫科,接著就在花東偏遠地區服務,大約五年前,一次醫學會的偶遇,她告訴我說: 在關山做社區醫療過得非常充實而且很有活力, 兩年前路經慈濟關山醫院時也有進去找她,可惜未遇.
找出參加她結緍時的照片,沈思良久......

總是跟不上您的脚步--悼慧因學長
慧因學長:
您走的腳步太快了，我每次都跟不上。
您最深入的兩本書：肇論與傷寒雜病論，我還沒好好的研讀，您這十幾年來對石窟研究所得到石窟是禪師修行的成果與範本，我也才開始學習。
您一生中最大的成就是在於不同文化、學科界面的整合，這包含了三個層面。首先您以肇論做為佛法義學從印度傳來中國和中華文化整合的切入點；其二，在西方醫學、物理、數學傳到中國後對傳統醫學產生衝擊，這中西醫的整合契機就是傷寒雜病論。最後，您從石窟禪觀的研究與實修解決了從娑婆世界轉換到西方極世界的介面。
您選擇獨自悄悄的離開這世間，往生時身體柔軟，右脅而臥，或許因為家人的不捨，或許因為人世間還有太多未竟的志業，中西醫整合、中醫幼苗班、高級禪法班、石窟研究的專書、師父往生十周年記念研討會、等待中的病人......，還是讓您要到急診室走一遭，經過二、三十分鐘的心肺復甦術折騰，臉色雖因貧血而顯得蒼白，但依然是那麼安詳，我為您拔管後，您左眼微張，眼神依舊銳利，我在您耳邊提醒您要觀想彌陀接引及西方境界現前，這時我深信您決定往生淨土。
如原合十

您選擇獨自悄悄的離開這世間，往生時身體柔軟，右脅而臥，或許因為家人的不捨，或許因為人世間還有太多未竟的志業，中西醫整合、中醫幼苗班、高級禪法班、石窟研究的專書、師父往生十周年記念研討會、等待中的病人......，還是讓您要到急診室走一遭，經過二、三十分鐘的心肺復甦術折騰，臉色雖因貧血而顯得蒼白，但依然是那麼安詳，我為您拔管後，您左眼微張，眼神依舊銳利，我在您耳邊提醒您要觀想彌陀接引及西方境界現前，這時我深信您決定往生淨土。
如原合十
